I thought I would share this with the cabinet builders using Sketchup

I have been helping Paul Verhelst of CabinetSense with the oddities of UK cabinetry. CabinetSense works inside Sketchup as a parametric cabinet builder , it enables you to build single cabinets or complete kitchen layouts, once you have built a range of generic cabinet or use the library models you just drag and drop them from the component menu onto the plan and  resized, all the components in each cabinet are resized for each cabinet.

All elements of the build are covered

Carcase material
Various types of construction
Layon or face frame, all the frames sizes can be changed
Slab or five piece doors
Drawer boxes in butt, dado or dovetailed construction
Customize drawers programmed to handle 4 types of slides, blum tandem, tandembox, metabox and accuride side mounted slides
Knob or handle selection and placement

The best part is with one click it will give you……….
Complete cutting list of materials which can be imported into Cutlist Plus for Sheet layouts
List of doors
List of drawer boxes
List of handles, hinges and runners.

Here are some video clips to give you an idea how easy is…….

Getting started
Cabinet basics
Drawer box
Cutlist 
Face frames 
Building an island 
Wall cabinets 
Exporting data 

The software is in pre-production testing, Paul hoping to be able to release it to the public by the middle of the year.

The link is not working.  It's a no go on YOUTUBE.  CabinetSens could not be found  [sad].
Is the software for a CNC machine?

The links have been trunkated - search for user 'cabinetsense' & they can be found. Looks like a good system!

Links are fixed

No, CabinetSense if for anyone who builds cabinets and draws in Sketchup.
 
I haven't looked at the videos yet but it sounds similar to thermwoods' Ecabinets software. Which is free as well.
